Games and activities can be used on devices to promote brain activity, "Gamify" learning and improve social skills for elderly, disabled or cognitive decline patients.

Given the massive range of current and emerging tech in the aged and disability care sector worldwide, lets do a poll on what this community finds more important to discuss or learn about. If your idea is not here, leave a reply with another form of tech for this sector so we can discuss it.

There are heaps of other skool communities that are centred around aged care, carers or conditions that we as Carers deal with regularly , I will try to post them up here as i find them so you can all check them out 🤖 Dementia Care Exchange - a great active community discussing Dementia Openly Aging - A community for seniors and also their loved ones Home Meets Care University - Aged care training and community.
